Nintendo announced during today's Nintendo Direct stream that Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed game, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is getting released on Switch as well.

On top of that, Ubisoft has a lot of free stuff lined up that you won't need the season pass for.

Free DLC will also be released, information on it is provided below.

The Lost Tales of Greece will be episodic storylines that come out between DLCs.

Odyssey will also be revisiting the exploration mode that many people liked from Origins. However, it's still a thrill to see Ancient Greece in all its glory. Daily and weekly contracts will send players on new quests across Greece. These will be challenging foes that might require multiple players to take down. It is now unknown if Ubisoft plans to release in other territories, but given the game's absence from other region streams, it seems doubtful. All of the above content will be free for everyone.

Apple 2018 Event Recap: iPhone Xs, Xs Max, Xr, Apple Watch
The base level iPhone is now the iPhone 7 with a 4.7-inch display, A10 Fusion chip, water proofing and stereo speaker setup. Luckily, if you owned a previous iPhone that came with a wired dongle, you can still use that with the new Apple handsets.

Jumping straight in, the season pass will be what delivers the amount of content.

The pass also includes two additional story arc packages. Legacy of the First Blade will reveal more about the history that led to the formation of the Assassins. Learn more about the backstory of the Assassins and why they choose to fight from the shadows. The content will be episodic and start dripping out in December.

The Fate of Atlantis, the second story arc, will set players against mythic creatures while they uncover the mysteries of the fabled sunken city of Atlantis. It has players discovering the secrets of mythical Atlantis and confronting "godly creatures". In a saga filled with twists and turns, players will get even closer to Greek mythology and the First Civilization. It'll be arriving in spring 2019 with episodes releasing roughly six weeks apart. Check out a trailer for all the Assassin's Creed Odyssey Season Pass goodies, below.

Assassin's Creed III Remastered (with AC Liberation) will launch in March 2019 and will also be available standalone for non-Season Pass holders. Bundles will probably increment in price by about $10-20 as you go up the line.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is due for release on October 5 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. Gold, Collectors, and Ultimate Editions owners will have access to the game three days early, starting October 2.
